Security Awareness Training

KnowBe4 is the world’s most popular integrated Security Awareness Training and Simulated Phishing platform.

KnowBe4 trains employees to make smarter security decisions.

Most major enterprise data breaches begin with an attempt to fool a single user on your network. Whether they are targeting top executives, financial decision makers, or IT people who maintain passwords and credentials, today’s cyberattackers often are going after specific individuals in your organization. And as the holiday shopping season begins, these attacks on individuals may become easier – and more frequent.

In this eye-opening webinar, top experts on phishing and social engineering will discuss the motives and methods that attackers use to execute these targeted “spearphishing” attacks. You’ll get insight on how the attackers choose their social engineering targets, the methods they use to find out about those individuals, and the exploits they execute to fool specific users into giving up sensitive information. You’ll also get recommendations on how to prevent this early reconnaissance, as well as the attacks themselves, and how to train your users to recognize an attack before it creates a compromise.

Ask a security expert what the most vulnerable cog in the security wheel is and they will tell you it is the user. A company with the most detailed policies and procedures and best-in-class security hardware and software is still vulnerable if a user decides to take an action potentially compromises data, such as copying a confidential file to a thumb drive to work on it at home, opening a spearphishing email and clicking on the attachment, or deciding to check out their favorite YouTube channel from a workstation attached to the corporate network.

This 20/20 webcast looks at necessity for on-going security awareness training, how it can be incorporated into the workday, and the kinds of user activities that can be changed through such training.

Your enterprise may have an IT security awareness program, but is it really working? Do your end users understand the threats posed by online attackers? Are you confident your users can spot a potential security threat – and that they will report it if they do?

- Go beyond basic classes to truly change the thinking in your organization so employees and executives become more aware of IT security

Attackers are moving their focus from attacking the hardened network perimeter to attacking your users. This has made Ransomware and CEO Fraud incidents skyrocket, costing billions of dollars in losses. Join KnowBe4, a leader in Security Awareness Training and Simulated Phishing as we discuss the ransomware and CEO Fraud epidemics and proven methods of protecting your organization against these phishing-based attacks.

The FBI just issued a warning about a “dramatic” increase in CEO Email Scams. The Bureau estimates these scams have cost businesses more than $2.3 Billion in losses over the past three years. No matter how extensive your Security Awareness Training Program is, your company is vulnerable to these attacks. Employees are quick to act when a financial request comes from the CEO. What protocols do you have in place to make sure your team knows when an email is really coming from the C-Level? Join our panel to learn how to avoid falling victim to these phishing scams.

Stu Sjouwerman, CEO of KnowBe4, has seen first-hand the devastating impact of ransomware on healthcare entities. And he knows traditional defenses aren't enough to ward off attackers. What's needed is a whole new approach to user education.

Learn how to prepare against cyber attacks and keep operating when your systems are under siege. Cybercrime has gone pro over the last 5 years and attacks have become much more sophisticated and intense. The bad guys are now going after your employees. It’s happening right now. Don't become a victim.

Protecting your enterprise data is often referred to as a technology issue, but most cyber attacks begin by fooling a user into doing something, such as unknowingly downloading malware or giving up security credentials. This “social engineering” is the most common way that an online attacker will gain access to your business – and the hardest to defend against, because it exploits everyday human weaknesses, rather than technical vulnerabilities.

How do attackers fool your employees via email, Web, phone, and onsite? What are some of the latest methods they use to trick users and employees into breaking security policy? And most importantly, what can your organization do to keep its employees from being taken in? In this informative Dark Reading webcast, top experts on social engineering will answer these questions and many more. You’ll learn about current social engineering methods and the “human” threats posed by online and physical attackers. You’ll also get insight on how your organization can train and test its users and employees to recognize and turn away these social engineering exploits – before they compromise your business.
